Types

Types define how values are interpreted and used in DexScript. Every value has a type, which determines how it is parsed, stored, and interacted with during execution.

Some types (Common Types) can be inferred multiple times, while others (Parsing Types) are only determined once during parsing.

Common Types

A common type is a type that can be inferred multiple times.

STRING

A string is a sequence of characters. If a value's type could not be determined, it defaults to a string.

... > Hello World!

BOOLEAN

A boolean is a logical type that has exactly two values, True or False.

... > True
... > False

DATETIME

A datetime represents a calendar date. It is created using the ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD).

... > 2025-12-16

HEX

A hexadecimal value is a base-16 number. It is created by prefixing a value with a #.

... > #11C

ARRAY

An array is a collection that can hold multiple values of any type. Arrays are defined using square brackets ([]).

... > [Hello World, False, $N]

MODEL

A model represents a Ballsdex-specific model type.

... > BALL
... > SPECIAL

NONE

The none type represents the absence of a value. It is created using $N.

... > $N

Parsing Types

A parsing type is a type that can only be inferred once during parsing.

EXTENSION

An extension represents a class defined in DexScript. It is identified by its name and is not treated as a string.

FILE > ...

COMMAND

A command is a function defined within an extension. It is identified by its name and is not treated as a string.

... > WRITE > ...
